A Cairn dispatcher answers every day of the year.
Licensed and insured

Your price comes first
Approve the written price on a tablet before work begins.
Lock work between tenants and beyond
A vacant unit, a maintenance key and a laundry room door all need different handling. We work from management approval through final testing.
Unit turnover rekeying
Change the pins in working cylinders between residents so the previous keys no longer operate the lock. Existing hardware stays in place.
Resident lockouts
A resident locked out of a unit can call for entry. ID and a lease or manager confirmation establish permission to enter.
Maintenance master keys
Plan keys around the units and shared doors maintenance staff need, while keeping individual unit keys separate.
Pool and gym locks
We service locks and door hardware on resident recreation areas, including worn latches and locks that need replacement.
Laundry room access
Repair or change locks on shared laundry facilities with authorization from the property manager.
Lock changes after eviction orders
Following an eviction or lockout order, we change locks with the owner or manager present or on written request. We do not carry out evictions.
Clear authority for every unit
Apartment service involves residents, leasing staff and ownership. Your account defines who may order work and how each property is billed.
Approved account contacts
Management names the people authorized to request property work. We check that authority before changing a unit lock.
Signed key release requests
Keys under a managed master or restricted system are issued only to listed contacts after a signed request.
Work orders sent by email
Your leasing or maintenance team can email the unit information and requested service for scheduled jobs.
Monthly property billing
Each property has one monthly statement. Approved accounts use net 30 terms, and purchase orders are accepted.
A clear path from request to repair
Move-out work can be scheduled with the leasing team. An occupied-unit lockout goes through dispatch by phone, with the account determining who pays.
Identify the unit and work
Call for an emergency or submit planned work through the request form. Include the property, unit and reason for service.
Confirm timing and charges
Dispatch quotes the service call fee, an expected price range and an arrival estimate. Scheduled jobs are arranged during service hours.
Verify permission and inspect
The technician checks the resident's or manager's authority, inspects the lock and provides a written price for approval.
Complete and test the job
After approval, we rekey, repair or replace the hardware as agreed. Keys are tested and the door is checked for proper latching.
Send the service record
An itemized invoice lists the service call, labor and each part. Billing follows the account arrangement for that property.
Less guesswork for the leasing office
When units change hands and maintenance staff share responsibilities, a consistent process makes keys, approvals and charges easier to manage.
Known cost per rekeyed cylinder
Rekeying is $22 per cylinder when the lock is suitable. The $39 service call fee is separate, and any additional charges appear on the written price.
Who pays for resident lockouts
Your account states whether the resident pays for a lockout or the charge goes to the property.
Fewer keys for maintenance
A planned master key system gives staff access to assigned units without carrying a separate key for every door.
One coordinator across properties
Commercial accounts coordinator Priya Nair handles requests for managers overseeing more than one apartment property.
12-month workmanship warranty
A 12-month workmanship warranty applies when a lock fails because of our installation, rekeying or repair work.
Answers for apartment management
The questions managers raise most often concern turnover costs, resident access and who has authority to order a lock change.
Call (702) 000-0000All questionsDo we need to replace the locks every time a tenant moves out?
Not when the existing cylinders are in good condition and can be rekeyed. Rekeying changes which keys operate the locks while retaining the hardware. Worn or incompatible locks may need replacement.
How much does it cost to rekey several apartments?
The rekeying rate is $22 for each cylinder, plus a separate $39 service call fee per visit inside the service area. The technician checks the hardware and gives management a written price before work starts.
Can a tenant call you directly when locked out at night?
Yes. A dispatcher answers the emergency line 24 hours a day, every day. We verify the resident’s authority to enter, and payment follows the account arrangement with the property.
Can you change the locks after an eviction?
We perform authorized lock changes after an eviction or lockout order, but we do not conduct evictions. The owner or manager must be present or provide a written request before the locks are changed.
Can maintenance have one key for multiple apartment doors?
A master key system can give maintenance personnel access to designated doors while each unit retains its own individual key. The system is planned around staff responsibilities, the doors involved and room for future expansion.
